Correct Answer: Rs. 34.50
Solution : Given: Rs. 126.50 is divided among A, B and C in the ratio of 2 : 5 : 4. So, they will get shares according to the ratio. A's share = ($\frac{2}{2+5+4})$ × 126.50 = $\frac{2}{11}$ × 126.50 = Rs. 23 B's share = ($\frac{5}{2+5+4})$ × 126.50 = $\frac{5}{11}$ × 126.50 = Rs. 57.50 Therefore, B's share exceeds A's by (57.50 – 23) = Rs. 34.50 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 34.50.
